The one irksome thing that runs again and again through my mind is how much stuff we don't actually *own* in modern society. Even physical things, if there's an iota of a connection to technology, you should be aware there's probably a license you're agreeing to somewhere. There's a whole complex web of reasoning you can come to on why that's right, wrong, or just capitalism, but good to be aware of if you get distraught when some event flares up the reminder that's how things are.
@anicasts It makes me mad when video games are delisted or have their soundtracks gutted all because the licenses for the music was only good for 10 years or whatever…
And, yeah… never buy digital if you really want to keep something.
@Ragashingo @anicasts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_States
"The length of copyright established by the Founding Fathers was 14 years, plus the ability to renew it one time, for 14 more."
If it weren't for copyright being extended over and over, with how old some games are getting, they'd be falling out of copyright already (and you wouldn't have that problem).
